How FlutterFlow helps consultants solve clients’ last mile of digital transformation
An increasing number of businesses are investing in digital transformation. When this transformation involves creating and maintaining mobile, web and desktop applications, it can levy a heavy investment.
When enterprises turn to consultants for help with digital transformation, cost is at the forefront of their mind. They want to create beautiful digital experiences for their customers, but at a pace previously unimaginable. So, how can consulting firms and agencies help their clients reach the largest audience possible, while reducing time-to-market and total cost of ownership?
The answer, in part, lies in standardizing your client’s front-end application development with:
- a single, unified, cross-platform codebase; and
- a visual application development platform that is fit for the task.
Flutter: Your client’s new cross-platform development framework
Flutter allows organizations to build high-quality applications for iOS, Android, web and desktop from a single codebase. With best in class performance, security and developer experience, Flutter is emerging as the framework of choice for front-end development.
FlutterFlow: Your client’s new application development platform
Even with a great framework, crafting custom UI components, iterating on client prototypes, and integrating with various backend services takes time. That’s where visual application development comes into play.
FlutterFlow is built on top of Flutter. It provides a visual interface to enable users to build highly custom, scalable applications. Meaning consultants can deliver client applications faster. Partners like Infosys, TCS, PwC, CapGemini, Deloitte, KPMG and Wipro already use FlutterFlow to deliver better apps faster.
Enterprises using FlutterFlow have accelerated their development velocity by 4X while reducing development costs by 50%.
Key Benefits of FlutterFlow for your Clients
1. Faster Time-to-Market:
- Visual editor: FlutterFlow’s visual editor allows developers to design and build without writing code. With a drag-and-drop interface, FlutterFlow, allows developers to easily build complex, responsive layouts with minimal effort. This means, consultants are able to deliver client projects faster and at a lower cost point.
- Pre-built components and templates: With common UI components like buttons, dialogs and navigation bars, you can start building in FlutterFlow immediately. Better yet, FlutterFlow’s templates allow enterprises with common use cases to jumpstart page layout and interactivity.
- Support for Design System and reusable components: In FlutterFlow, it’s easy to customize the look-and-feel of applications to match client’s brand guidelines. Designers can jump into FlutterFlow to specify color schemes, text styles and other design fundamentals. Once a theme is set, its styling propagates throughout the entire application.
- Rapid prototyping: FlutterFlow’s visual editor allows for quick prototyping and iteration. Consultants can easily share testable prototypes with clients for fast feedback.
- Seamless integration: FlutterFlow supports out of the box integrations with a wide range of services. This simplifies integrating with clients’ internal APIs or systems.
2. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Reduction:
- Scalable and reliable code: FlutterFlow generates clean, production-ready Dart code that leverages best practices. Not only does this reduce maintenance burden, but it means developers can jump directly into the code at any point.
- Reduced development costs: When it comes to maintaining client projects, developing new applications, or transferring ownership, FlutterFlow reduces overall costs. Users can quickly pull from component libraries to build new features.
- Streamlined maintenance: When a bug is reported, users can apply the fix to the core components. This then propagates to all projects using them. Partners also have the ability to build their own library of core components that they can then leverage across client projects, further accelerating development.
- Version control: FlutterFlow supports version control and integrates with popular platforms like GitHub. This simplifies managing changes, tracking progress, and maintaining a clear development history.
3. No Vendor Lock-In:
- Your clients own their IP: FlutterFlow produces maintainable and secure code with no proprietary dependencies. Therefore, you can use it across mission critical applications without any platform lock-in risk.
4. Simplified Staffing:
- No Flutter expertise needed: With FlutterFlow, consultants don’t need to be Dart or Flutter experts to work on client projects. Not only does FlutterFlow allow developers with other programming experience to build faster, but it empowers non-technical users to participate in the development process.
